I will stay away from business like this whenever I catch it.

It is okay but like an insult for my IQ, lol, as they say.

If you want to feel your intelligence is being insulted, go right ahead.
Me, I think Amazon is well-known for constantly-changing algorithmic pricing, as they work to maximize sales.
And I don't believe Amazon sets the list price... they set their own sales price.

And with all the fake product reviews? I still read online reviews but mostly for fun. Who will post 50 product reviews a day if they are not paid, regardless of the stars? Manufacturers do it. Amazon also does it. To be fair, as a big business, Amazon does have good customer service. I agree.

Oh, do you have some sort of evidence to indicate that any particular group of reviews are false? I am sure Amazon would love to hear about it -- they don't like fake reviews either.
Book nerds love talking about books, whether reviews or not, paid or not.
